    Hi

    If I take screenshots of in gameplay footage and software programs, watermark them with my domain name in the bottom corner of the image and then upload it to my website posts is this okay? Can I be sued by the software/gaming companies?

    A bit confused over this. Any feedback appreciated.

    I'd rather not do so. You'd be basically rebranding someone else's product (image in this case), which I highly doubt is legal in any of the countries.

    Are you reviewing? You may be OK with "Fair use", but that is in USA. Where are you located?
